Cold-Blooded Capitol - Act of Deceit

Life's a prison
When there is no explanation
For the fingerprints on your skull
Then I turn to see somebody staring at me
Tortured spirits take over me
Won't let me sleep at night
I keep seeing figures that just
Want to devour my brain

Penetrating through your thoughts
What's left of your mind left to rot
Glued to my bed, body all sore
Wondering what this knife is for
Something in the night
Keeps on moving towards me
Recycled thoughts each time
Are what eat my soul alive

There must be a meaning to these
Sadistic things of the night
Terror fills these halls and I still
Still, dwell in agony
I'm pushing away people that could
Could be for my own good
Are they the devil under my feet?
Or just an act of deceit

This love's so suddenly sweet
Read between the lines
And my promise to you I will keep

Lying
Cheating
Deceiving
You're just a twat who
Lies and
Cheats and
Deceives and
Likes to see others hurt
I was
A real one
Who was different from the rest and the best
Why did you?
Why did you?
Why did you have to lie to me?

Run right through the web
Cause there's certainly a time when you're right
Leave the flowers dead
Look who's laughing at, kicking at, spitting on you on your grave

No one to be found with all the blood on the sheets and the staircase
I can't see a god damn thing
So what the fuck is living with me?
Hindsight laughs right in your face and
You're feeling like you're going to
Lose it and forget your instincts
All from this act of deceit
So strung out cause now I'm starring
In my own horror film
Is something really out to get me?
Is this an act of deceit?

This loves so suddenly sweet
Read between the lines
And my promise to you I will keep
Is this an act of deceit?
